Former Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey linked with Juventus exit just a year after joining

Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey could reportedly leave Juventus at the end of the season because manager Maurizio Sarri does not see him as part of his long-term plans.

The 29-year-old made the move to Turin on a free transfer last summer following 11 seasons at Arsenal and he started promisingly, scoring on his debut in a win over Verona.

Since then thing have not gone so well, however, with the player struggling with injuries, and Ramsey has made just 11 appearances in Serie A so far this season.

He has a contract until 2023 with Juventus, but according to Italian outlet Calciomercato there is a strong chance he could move on after just one year.

It is not clear whether Ramsey would be keen on a return to England or if he would prefer to stay abroad, but it appears he has a limited time to convince Sarri he can be a valuable member of the team.

Ramsey came off the bench during Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Verona, and Juventus will finish the weekend in second place if Inter Milan beat rivals AC Milan on Sunday evening.

Sarri was furious with his side's performance in the loss to Verona, and speaking to DAZN after the match he said: "Evidently we have different performances and results when comparing home form to away. It was a difficult game, we knew it would be and that Verona would make us suffer early on.

"We held out well, hit the woodwork twice, took the lead, but cannot drop points with such soft errors. The first goal was inexplicable, if we want Juventus to win games, we cannot keep making errors caused by a superficial attitude.

"What we need to realise is that winning is not to be taken for granted. We have to work harder, get dirty when we need to and not rest on our laurels."
